M: The Language of STEM, a musical evening with Marcus G. Miller and William A. Massey

Saturday, February 4, 6:00 pm
Join saxophonist Marcus G. Miller and his band — Noah Jackson on bass, Eli Menezes on guitar, Bobby Sanabria on drums/percussion, and ELEW on piano — along with Princeton University professor and mathematician William A. Massey for an evening of music and mathematics, two fields that encourage creativity and exploration and build new languages out of natural information patterns. Dr. Massey, whose research interests include queueing theory and applied probability, will discuss and demonstrate the importance of mathematics as an information pattern language that is used to describe ideas in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Miller will create a musical dialogue using the rhythmic, harmonic,
and melodic pattern languages of jazz, classical, and Latin music. Don’t miss this exciting evening of math and music! Learn more and register at saxmath.momath.org.

Volumes, the MoMath book club: Hidden Figures by Margot Lee ShetterlyThursday, February 16, 6:00 pm
Join Volumes for the phenomenal true story of the black female mathematicians at NASA whose calculations helped fuel some of America’s greatest achievements in space. Originally relegated to teaching math in the South’s segregated public schools, they were called into service during the labor shortages of World War II, when America’s aeronautics industry was in dire need of anyone who had the right stuff. Suddenly, these overlooked math whizzes had a shot at jobs worthy of their skills, and they answered Uncle Sam’s call, moving to Hampton, Virginia, and entering the fascinating, high-energy world of the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory. If you liked the movie, you'll love
the book! Learn more and register at volumes.momath.org.

Leonardo and Luca: Using art to understand mathematicsSunday, February 26, 6:30 pm
The mysterious powers of mathematics and its application to art were favorite subjects in the court of Milan when Luca Pacioli and Leonardo da Vinci were there in the late 1490s. Hundreds of years later, making models can still help us understand mathematics. MoMath welcomes Dutch artist Rinus Roelofs, whose work exemplifies the connection between math and art, as he guides us all in making our own Leonardo-style polyhedral models.
